Chocolate Andes Mint Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    2/3 cup cocoa powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    1/2 cup shortening
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 large eggs
    1 (10 ounce) package Andes mint baking chips
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F
    Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
    Cream butter, shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
    Add vanilla extract and eggs, beating well.
    Switch from an electric mixer to a sturdy spoon, and gradually mix in the flour mixture.
    Stir in mint chips. The dough will be VERY stiff.
    Drop by well-rounded teaspoons (I use a cookie scoop) onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
    Bake for 10 minutes, until centers are set.
    Remove immediately (be careful, so cookies do not fall apart) to wire racks to cool completely.
